I saw a man riding on the wrong side of the bike lane going north on wells. He was wearing a full on face mask, knee and elbow pads and all leather. Over that he had either 100s of pipe cleaners or colored straws sticking out of every inch of his armor and outfit. I couldn't get a picture because it happened so fast, either way I was flabbergasted.

I've been seeing this guy around the Loop and River North for YEARS. It's his everyday costume. I think he's actually a messenger...though I don't see how that get-up doesn't slow him down in a major way...
